This 13' regatta bell tent was everything I was looking for in an all season tent for my wife and I to hit the woods any time. I received the tent after a minor shopping issue with the carrier but amazon quickly resolved the problem. The packing of the product was great and the carry bag is very nice. I was excited so I set up the tent in my yard and without looking at any directions, had the tent up in 20 minutes by myself. Very easy for me! Bonus! The canvas and stitching are top quality and the floor is great material and rugged. The stove jack was easy to cut and covers well when not in use. The tent stakes are heavy duty and anchor the tent down well. The tent poles are heavy duty and overall the floor space is fantastic. The water proofing is what it says it is. We love this tent and would recommend it 10x over. Thanks for a great product Whiteduck!

I recently purchased a 13 ft Avalon to set up on my camping property. I realized once I have this larger tent set up I'm probably not going to want to take it down. So for a couple events this summer and while I prepared a tent pad for the Avalon I decided to pick up this smaller 8 ft regatta. Once you know what you're doing it sets up pretty quickly. Definitely faster than the 20 minutes they claim. I can do it in about 10 minutes easily. Just stake the perimeter, insert the poles and finish by staking out the guidelines. Construction seems very durable. I don't see any issues with the floor but I do put a tarp underneath it mainly just to protect it from punctures. Depending on how tightly you steak in front of the door it can be difficult to zip the bottom parts of the door completely closed. I really don't see it being an issue because there is enough overlap to prevent water from getting inside. As far as livable space is concerned I put a twin air bed inside mine. You can just fit one in between the sides or back of the tent and the pole. Leaving you with the other half of the tent to store your gear or whatever you want. While this tent would work for two people I think it would be very cozy. The center pole just limits the space inside but I think the extra headroom and ease of setup from this design is worth it. I feel that for the price this is a great tent to have if you are car camping and want something that is going to last you a long time as long as you take care of it. This is my first canvas tent. I've owned innumerable nylon tents over my lifetime and nylon invariably degrades from sunlight. Cotton canvas needs its own special care to keep away mildew and such. But I think for long-term durability and abrasion resistance it's a much better choice than nylon tents. Also nylon tents getting incredibly hot in the sun canvas is going to do a better job of keeping the tent cooler.

Great tent, very nice to setup. Even work great with bear damage!

After almost 2 years of continuous setup: This is a great tent. It has done well in incredibly heavy rain, storms and even ashfall in Hawai'i. Now there are areas where the seems are slowly starting to give, but that is due to heavy UV exposure and tradewinds regularly pulling from all sides. It costs more than other belltents but well worth the price. If you can afford it, there will be no regrets.

We bought this tent for our annual camping trip with some family. We set it up at home to do some of the "seasoning" and boy am I glad we did. First, this tent goes up quite easily, and they did a really good job of including all the things you'd need/want to know about working with this tent (including a handy rubber mallet). So, we set the tent up in our back yard quick and hosed it off for a little bit. On our camping trip (5 days / 4 nights) it rained three different times. Two times quite hard, and one time not very hard but rained for hours. The tent held up and didn't leak at all. There was definitely some moisture in the air of the tent, but that's to be expected when it rains like that. We also had to move the tent from one site to another while wet. That was a bit more difficult than I would have hoped for, but that's mostly because the tent was wet and heavier than when dry. We had a LOT of people stop and comment about how cool the tent looked and answered numerous questions during our trip. We got the big one, and it's rather large and very heavy. That said, we didn't have delusions of backpacking with this thing (mostly a car-camping family) so comfort and convenience is more important to us. We have two things to figure out / improve based on our first trip: 1.) The tent is quite stuffy when warm outside. We will need to get some battery operated fans or something similar. There's not a lot of natural airflow inside the tent. We'll actually probably use some sort of portable AC unit when we camp with electricity. 2.) We're having some trouble getting the door to zip all the way closed as expected. I feel like we're doing something wrong with setup more than a defect. The directions are pretty good, and are in a booklet vs some folded piece of paper but could be a little more clear. Overall, if you don't mind the price point this is a very nice tent and I imagine it'll work great in the fall/spring. I don't think we'll do much camping in the winter though.

Love it! I've tested this tent for almost a month in my back yard and it's been great! We had 40 degree to 80 degree weather with some days of high wind, rain, and some sunny and calm. My thoughts so far; it does well in the rain (no leaks), it can handle the wind, and if you open the ventilation in a hot day it's ok, but it is definitely hotter inside than outside. The tent is meant for cold weather though, and it did well in 40 degrees. I used a space heater and it was able to keep the tent at 65 degrees all night without any issues. I also purchased and used a tent stove, which is a bit harder to regulate so it made the tent too hot, but it worked great too! Easy to setup and take down. Did it all by myself and it takes 2-3 hours to put it up and depending on how you setup the inside 1-5 hours to bring it down (I had a tent stove, cot, table, etc. and it took 5). I'm heading to Fairbanks Alaska soon so I'll let you all know how it fairs in some of the coldest temps on the planet! ;) That said, I think it will do pretty well!

I ordered my 10-ft Regatta Bell from Amazon because they had sandstone beige in stock and the White Duck web site did not. Nevertheless, the tent was drop-shipped from White Duck. Go figure. As many reviews state, construction is first class. There are lots of thoughtful details. I particularly like the large-tooth YKK zippers on the door. They seem much more robust than the typical coil zippers that you find on tents. I've set up and taken down the tent twice. Both processes are straightforward, especially if you've owned a number of different tents and understand the common principles of setting them up. Given the number of stakes and guylines and the sheer size, it does take longer to set up and take down than a backpacking tent, but not dramatically longer. Once erected, the tent is very stable, and it was pretty easy to get the canvas taut because of the nine perimeter stakes and nine guy lines. As others have stated, there is room for two cots in the 10-ft tent. If you want to use a stove (I don't), you basically have room for one cot, one stove, and lots of gear. I do love the fact that I can stand up straight in the center of the tent. My guess is that if you had campers in sleeping bags only, you could get four people side-by-side on the tent floor. The first time I set it up, I sprayed water on the tent to season the canvas. The water repellent coating beaded up the water, and it rolled off. I won't know until I camp in the rain if the seasoning worked or not. I do know that canvas tents from many years ago would weep water wherever the oil from your skin would touch the canvas, so my advice is to keep from touching the canvas the first time you use it in the rain. I used the tent this past weekend in clear-sky weather that reached 29 ˚F in the morning. Throughout the night, winds gusted up to 25 knots. The tent fabric would shudder a little with the strongest gusts, but at no time did I worry about the tent collapsing. I left a water bottle out on the tent floor, and it had no ice in it in the morning, so the tent actually retained heat better than expected. There was no frost on the inside of the tent walls even though I kept the windows and door closed, so the roof vents worked well. There are some things I'm getting used to: * I'm 5'11" and I have to stoop pretty far to get through the door. Given the geometry of the tent, it's hard to imagine otherwise, but taller people should be aware of the fact. * The steel pole in the 10-ft tent pretty well blocks access to the middle of my cot. I have to sit on the upper end of the cot or the lower end, but I can't sit exactly in the middle. The steel is also cold on a cold day, so I'm thinking of wrapping parts of it with gaffer tap where I might grab it (say, when getting out of the cot). * At least two zippers must be opened or closed to enter or leave the tent because of the inverted-T arrangement of the zippers. If you're used to one U-shaped zipper, understand that zipping and unzipping the tent will always take a little longer. Also, getting all of the zippers on both the screen and the doors to perfectly meet up at the junction of the T is harder than I imagined when the tent is taut. There is a half-circle of vinyl between the screen and door at the meeting points of the inside and outside zippers to keep insects and small critters out, but it can get in the way of closing the zippers completely. In short, it's a bit fiddly. * If you want to hang a lantern from the ring on the center pole, you will need a hook or carabiner to do it. * The guy line stakes are made from galvanized steel rebar. The ridges on the rebar hold dirt and can be more difficult than I expected to clean off after pulling them from the ground. Some things that I wish were better: * The floor seems to have some extra fabric in it. In spite of staking out a taut perimeter, the vinyl tent floor is a long way from taut. As best I can tell, it was cut a little bigger than necessary before being sewn into the canvas perimeter. I have no idea if this was intentional or not. * The cap on the door pole is cheap, flexible vinyl. It will yellow, harden, and crack or tear with time. I didn't see replacements on the White Duck web site. I hope they're available nonetheless. I can imagine that cap is an absolute necessity to keep water out in a downpour. * The shock cord and chains holding the tent poles together are a bit looser than I would like. The poles don't really snap into place, and the pole sections can easily slide apart again as you erect the tent. I pinched the web between my thumb and forefinger once because of this.

Well built. Very happy with this tent. Much taller entry with single pole in middle of entry as apposed to my other similar tent with u- Frame support
